HW Closeup

I must be really misguided to still be pining at the belief that I will actually build my Shaklee business. The truth is that I have been holding on for a few years now. I have believed in the Shaklee business philosophy for at least 5 years. There was a time when my wife also believed in it as much as I do. We did a few adventurous things like giving away lemonade at the park (only a few uninterested kids asked for some to drink), going door to door to talk to our neighbors in our apartment complex (that brought one lady who had back pain) and we also gave away little Basic-H’s. Today “Basic H” is “Basic H2″, which is truly a pleasure to use in the house for almost anything.

All these experiences were filled with sobering results. In retrospect, I know that we could have approached it in a more professional or planned/structured way. Still, we took some individual bold steps and we ought to be proud of being willing to do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. I also believe that our reckless abandon was influenced by some of the claims we had been hearing in our business CD’s. So called leaders stated things like “back in 1989 I started working from home and today I enjoy my beautiful house and I get to see my children going to college and living the life.” It made us want to have the same so much, and we didn’t really know how to get started. So we did what we thought we were supposed to do. Etc.

But here I am determined to make a name for myself using this oh so awesome and admired belief called Shaklee. The man that started it all (Dr. Forrest Shaklee) certainly was pretty determined. As the story tells it, he had this idea of creating products that truly had the best nature had to offer. In turn one benefit from the full potency of the ingredients and the body receives the nutrients to make it stronger and fight diseases and other preventable illnesses. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, but I’ll share more on this on future posts.

I’d say, doing Shaklee is one of the few truly worth while things to do in life. I have so much to be proud about the heritage, foundation, and future of this company. I want to make it mine; share it with people with excitement and truth. The earnings are more than suitable and it’s just a matter of finding your focus.

I’ll summarize my rambling with a simple phrase: Building Shaklee is a serious task with immensely fulfilling potential.
